Connect your modem to the Broadband Router
•Turn off your computer and your cable or DSL modem.
•Locate the Cat-5 Ethernet cable that connects your cable or DSL modem to your computer’s Ethernet adapter.
•Disconnect that Cat-5 Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet adapter, and connect it to the WAN port on the rear of the Broadband Router.

Connect your Broadband Router to your computer and power supply
Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to your computer’s Ethernet adapter. Connect the other end to one of the LAN ports on the Broadband Router.
Turn on your cable or DSL modem. Connect the included power cord to the power jack on the Broadband Router. Plug the power cord into a standard power outlet. Turn on your computer.
